Saraswathi Ashtotharam

Saraswathi Ashtotharam

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Goddess Saraswathi , the consort of Lord Brahma  , who wears white silk, sits on a white lotus flower. and rides  on a white swan ais   considered as   the Goddess of knowledge , music   arts   and wisdom by all Hindus. Her name means “Essence of oneself”  , There was  a great river   with her name which was a great tributary of Ganga but has vanished over years.   There are many temples dedicated to her all over  India. The Sringeri Sarada temple  and Mookambika   temple  in Karnataka, the koothanoor temple in Tamil Nadu   and Jnana Saraswathi temple in Basar are only few examples.She is worshipped in almost all Hindu Homes  in  South India  on the three     days  of Dasara. Shyamala Dandakam  by Kalidasa  is perhaps the greatest  prayer praising her .)
